Found 5 E. Togolensis eggs today moved into a small container with ro water and peat moss any tips?
Ok thanks I’ll add majority tap water to the container I checked this morning and found one more egg and will check again tonight.About halfway through development, in about a week, do a water change in the container with the water they will live in. If they hatch into RO, it won't be good. I use tap all the way. Depending on hardness, that could call for an RO tap mix, but not necessarily. I have the luxury of soft water.
I have started running an airline into the incubation container. I also keep the containers very clean, with no peat.
You can collect eggs for 4 or 5 days, after which time you would need a second growout aquarium. Older siblings can be serious predators on newly hatched fry.
Stage one - watch for a black dot in the egg.
